March 15, 2016

Two students from the Class of 2017 at the School of Ecology and Environment Studies: Abinash Mohanty and Kundan Sagar, presented their paper at The International Conference on Climate Science organised by the Interdisciplinary Climate Research Centre (ICRC), Cotton College, Guwahati and co-hosted by Kyoto university and ICEDS Kagawa University, Japan on March 8, 2016. The title of their paper was: “Debating Development: A Reality or Myth: Evaluation of climate change resilience in Bihar.”

The main objective of students’ paper was to access the advent of information assimilation to build in climate change resilience and calamity preparedness. Through their presentation the duo demonstrated possible holistic approaches in understanding the climate change effects on environment, socio-economic status of under developed states in general and Bihar in particular.

The presentation by Nalanda students was appreciated at the conference by the co-presenters and audience. The paper is currently under review for the publication and might soon be published by the Oxford University Press.
